		<title>The Three Weissmanns of Westport &#8211; Cathleen Schine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  This novel is based on Sense and Sensibility. I have been disappointed in the past with sequels, prequels, etc, but being eternally hopeful (or just wanting more Austen) I&#8217;m always prepared to try another one. Here&#8217;s a synopsis Jane Austen’s beloved Sense and Sensibilityhas moved to Westport, Connecticut, in this enchanting modern-day homage to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Improvement of the Estate &#8211; Alistair M Duckworth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As part of my Mansfield Park re-read, I&#8217;ve read the Mansfield Park chapter of The Improvement of the Estate by Alistair M Duckworth. It is very accessible I recommend it to anyone interested in Austen&#8217;s novels. To my mind his chapter on Mansfield Park is really a defense of it and to prove that is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mansfield Park &#8211; Mary Crawford</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the past I have thought Mary very similar to Elizabeth Bennet, but after my last reading I have decided she is too worldly and materialistic. &#8216;Matrimony was her object, provided she could marry well, and having seen Mr Bertram in town, she knew that objection could no more be made to his person than [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mansfield Park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading Mansfield Park - I&#8217;ve changed my mind about Mary. In the past I thought her witty and interesting, but this time I&#8217;ve noticed her selfishness and worldly views.]]></description>

		<title>Lovers Vows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On second thoughts I shall just direct you to a marvellous post by Ellen Moody here &#8211; I think she has written everything I wanted to write (and more) much better than I could.]]></description>

		<title>Lovers Vows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading Lovers Vows. I downloaded it as an e-book from here. Definitely worth a read (and surprisingly easy to read). There are parallel between the plot of Mansfield Park and Lovers Vows. I&#8217;ll try to write more on this in another post.]]></description>

		<title>Lost in Austen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think this (very loose) adaptation of Pride and Prejudice is fabulous; witty, clever, lovely to look at and well cast. In Episode 1 Amanda Price (Jemima Rooper), a keen Janeite, finds Elizabeth Bennet in her bathroom (in Hammersmith). She passes through the secret door in the bathroom and finds herself trapped in Longbourn. She then [...]]]></description>
